Item Description
Stunning, metallic cinnabar crystals are aesthetically set on both sides of this adorable and outstanding miniature. The gemmy, sharp, drill bit-twinned crystals have gorgeous, deep cherry-red color under bright light. One side is accented with blocky, cream-colored dolomite, while the cinnabars on the other side rest on a field of glassy quartz points. A small bit of bruising is noted to a couple of crystals, but is certainly a modest detraction. The previous owner bought this as a world-class miniature from another dealer. Two different looks for price of one!
